Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease and Fibrosis Status in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Treated at Internal Medicine Clinics: Türkiye DAHUDER Awareness of Fatty Liver Disease (TR-DAFLD) Study.

This awareness study aimed to determine the ultrasound (US) examination rates in relation to US-confirmed metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) diagnosis in internal medicine outpatients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across Türkiye. A total of 6283 T2D patients were included in this multicenter retrospective cohort study conducted at 17 internal medicine clinics across Türkiye. The presence and indications for US performed within the last 3 years were recorded along with US-confirmed MAFLD rates, laboratory findings on the day of US, and referral rates.

Evaluation of fetal diaphragm excursion and thickness in term pregnancies complicated with pre-gestational and gestational diabetes mellitus.

Background: Both pre-gestational (PGDM) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) make pregnancy complicated. Moreover in the literature GDM and PGDM have been held responsible for respiratory morbidity in newborns. Diaphragm ultrasound (DUS) is a valuable and noninvasive method that provides an opportunity to examine the diaphragmatic morphology and function.

The Effect of Iron Deficiency Anemia Early in the Third Trimester on Small for Gestational Age and Birth Weight: A Retrospective Cohort Study on Iron Deficiency Anemia and Fetal Weight.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between iron deficiency anemia and small for gestational age (SGA) in early third trimester pregnancies.

Methods: A total of 4800 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed retrospectively. We included pregnant women who had iron deficiency anemia between 26 and 30 weeks of gestation and delivered singletons between 37 and 41 weeks of gestation.

Comparison of spironolactone and spironolactone plus metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome.

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of spironolactone and spironolactone plus metformin treatments on body mass index (BMI), hirsutism score, hormone levels, and insulin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Thirty-seven patients with PCOS were randomly assigned to receive spironolactone 100 mg/d (spironolactone group, 18 patients) or spironolactone 100 mg/d plus metformin 2000 mg/d (combination group, 19 patients) for 12 months. BMI, modified Ferriman-Gallway score (FGS), serum levels of regarding hormones, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index were assessed before and after the treatments.

Assessment of Macular Peripapillary Nerve Fiber Layer and Choroidal Thickness Changes in Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, Healthy Pregnant Women, and Healthy Non-Pregnant Women.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a risk factor for the development of type II diabetes and it causes maternal and child morbidity. Screening for diabetic retinopathy (DR) is important because patients who develop DR have no symptoms until macular edema and/or proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) are already present. The aim of this study was to determine the early retinal findings of GDM.

Lack of any association between season of diagnosis and survival of gastric cancer cases in Kayseri, Turkey.

Background: The influence of season of diagnosis on cancer survival has been an interesting issue for many years. Most studies have shown a possible association between seasonality and survival in some cancers. We aimed to investigate whether there is an association between season of diagnosis and survival in patients with gastric cancer.

Evaluation of the Macula, Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer, and Choroid Thickness in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Using Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.

This study aimed to investigate the macular, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), and choroid thickness alterations using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to compare them with healthy reproductive-age women volunteers. Study group consisted of 64 patients with PCOS and control group consisted of 60 healthy volunteers. There was a statistically significant difference between PCOS and control groups for choroid thickness (P < .

Level of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, social anxiety, and quality of life among the women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous disease and many symptoms are seen with varying degrees. The aim of the present study was to determine which symptoms increased such problems as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and social worry by classifying PCOS according to symptoms.

Methods: The study was carried out with two groups.
